Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong pet owner
I grew up with dogs and small animals, and I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, including comforting a big dog scared of storms and giving medications to cranky senior animals. I have two cats and a 9-yr-old chinchilla with big personalities. I know pets are our family members, and I look forward to caring for yours!

Safety, trust & environment
Im very respectful and love detailed instructions. I’ve owned feisty, picky pets, so I’m happy to do whatever your animals need! I know it can be stressful having someone else come into your home and care for your pets, so I’ll take every measure to make sure you and your animals are comfortable
Ratings and reviews
Rafaela was amazing. She sent daily pictures and was very responsible. I felt so safe leaving her to care for my dog, Louie!
Thank you for the pictures and note!
Thanks for the cute pics!
This was my second time leaving my two cats in Rafaela's care, and I have no worries about them when she's watching them. They can be shy at times but they really seem to be comfortable with her. She sends great photos & updates, and communicates well. I highly recommend her!
Rafaela was amazing with my two cats. They are anxious (like me) and they were comfortable with her immediately (rolled on their backs for belly rubs) which made me comfortable. She sent great photos and updates, communicated thoroughly, and I felt confident that the cats were well taken care of. When we met to exchange keys, she asked thorough questions and made sure she was prepared with all instructions. Rafaela is really kind, has a gentle energy with pets, and definitely understands how much humans cherish their animal companions. If I need a petsitter in the future, I'm definitely contacting her again. Highly recommend!
Rafaela was amazing with my cat and dog! They were both so comfortable and happy when I got home, and she kept me updated with photos and messages while I was away and even made me aware of a beeping noise that was coming from the laundry unit. You can tell Rafaela really cares about animals — my pets were in great hands and I would gladly book Rafaela again!

Schedule
Available for drop-ins and walks in the evenings and weekends. I live in River Market and work in midtown, so I can be available for some morning or lunchtime needs in those areas. I can house-sit nearby, too.
